Common fields

{{cite DNB27|wstitle=|last=|first=|authorlink=|volume=}}

All fields

{{cite DNB27|wstitle=|title=|last=|first=|authorlink=|volume=|pages=|quote=|accessdate=|no-icon|comment=|ref=}}

Fields

• wstitle or title. Required.
  • wstitle: DNB supplement article name on Wikisource or
  • title: DNB supplement article name (can be coupled with url= see below)
• url: http://... link to web location other than Wikisource. Useful with title, unset by wstitle
• last: Surname of author. Don't wikilink (use authorlink instead).
  • first: Firstname(s) of author. Don't wikilink (use authorlink instead).
  • authorlink: Title of Wikipedia article about author. Article should already exist. Must not be wikilinked itself. Do not use this on its own, but along with "first" and "last".
• volume: Volume in which the entry appears. Used to generate the year and editor information.
• accessdate: Full date when an electronic item other than Wikisource was accessed. Requires |url=. Should be in the same format as the rest of the article.
• pages or page: These parameters are for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book. "|pages= 5–7" produces "pp. 5–7", while "|page= 5" produces "p. 5". The "pp." notation indicating multiple pages, and "p." notation indicating a single page, are placed automatically when you choose between the plural (pages) or singular (page) form of the parameter. Page ranges should be separated by an unspaced en dash (–).
• quote: Relevant quote from the article.
• no-icon=1: removes the lead icon
• comment: Optional comment which follows the citation.
• ref: Optional anchor for use with short reference links.

Examples

Example using wstitle:

{{Cite DNB27|first=Hugh Edward |last=Egerton |authorlink=Hugh Edward Egerton |wstitle=Barton, Edmund |supplement=3}} displays as:

Egerton, Hugh Edward (1927). "Barton, Edmund" . In Davis, H. W. C.; Weaver, J. R. H. (eds.). Dictionary of National Biography (3rd supplement). London: Smith, Elder & Co.
